I would like to create a drop down list for 12 names and a drop down list for
12 months that are relevant to the 12 names so that I can view their monthly
figures etc.
i.e. pick dave from one drop down list and January from the other to view
Daves figures from January. And how do I set up where I input the figures.

You should be able to find something here that answers your question

Hi Rob,

Try using Excel's Autofilter.

If you are not familiar with this feature, see Debra Dalgleish's
tutorial at:

The DD is just a simple Data Validation.

To lookup results, using something like

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A20=name_cell),--(B2:B20=month_cell),C2:C20)
